Mitch Kupcake trade Shaq and got no All-Stars in return. That's why the Lakers will never get K.G.

Not true. They got Caron Butler in the deal. They just weren't smart enough to hold on to him. The only player that didn't really pan out was Brian Grant, but he's pretty much been useless since he grew that long hair and left Sacramento.

They have a very small chance of getting KG, they should just realize that and focus on something else like getting Darko or some other better role players.

It's a sad fact, but I think the Lakers need to accept that Kobe will never be happy in LA. Unless some of these guys have expiring contracts that they can use to sign a big free agent, they just don't have the pieces to move guys around and create a contender with Kobe on the payroll.

They should just bite the bullet and trade him for the best possible deal they can get, hopefully a crapload of draft choices in a three way trade, and try to build from that.

They had a successful rebuild in the early 90's that led to 3 rings in the early 2000's.
